KARIBU MSAFIRI,welcome traveler!! This blog is dedicated to providing tourists/visitors with the information they need when traveling to Kenya. Some say that on the eighth day, God created Kenya and it is easy to see why. Be it mountain climbing, coastal tours, safaris, bird watching, cultural, white water rafting,endless national parks, a wonder of the world and historical sites( IT IS THOUGHT TO BE THE CRADLE OF MANKIND), Kenya offers it all!
Hells Gate National Park lies south of lake naivasha in kenya, north west of Nairobi. known for its wildlife and beautiful scenery, it also has the Fischers Tower and Central Tower columns as well as Hell's gate Gorge. The national park is also home to three geothrmal power stations at Olkaria.
Hells Gate National Park covers an area of 68.25 square kilometres and is situated in the environs of Lake Naivasha, approximately 90 kilometres from Nairobi. The park is situated 14 kilometres after the turn off from the old Nairobi-Naivasha Highway.It is diversed by diverse topological and geological scenery. It has historically been an important home for the rare lammergeyer., but it is now thought that the famous pair of birds may not have nested in the park for several years.
The park is popular due to its close proximity to Nairobi (one and half hour drive) and lowered park fees compared to other National parks. One is encouraged to hike and cycle within the park. This is a rarity in other Kenyan parks and is only made possible due to the lack of dangerous animals such as lions and elephants. However, there is a small number of cheetahs and African Buffalo.
The park is equipped with three campsites. There are also lodges around the vicinity if camping is not your cup of tea.
